What is swallowed cough drop whole?

Swallowing a cough drop whole can be potentially dangerous as it can get stuck in the throat or esophagus, leading to choking. Additionally, some cough drops contain menthol or eucalyptus oils which can cause irritation or burning in the stomach if ingested in large amounts. It is always recommended to follow the instructions on the cough drop package and dissolve the cough drop slowly in the mouth rather than swallowing it whole. If you accidentally swallow a cough drop whole and experience any discomfort or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.
